Parking restrictions are set to be introduced to six more locations in Slough, the council has revealed.

Streets in central Slough, Herschel Park ward and six areas of Colnbrook are next in line to become Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs). It comes after some residents of Baylis and Stoke ward complained about new trial CPZs in their area.

Labour councillor Fiza Matloob asked Conservative council leaders which areas would next face parking restrictions ‘after the recent debacle over the implementation of CPZs in part of the town’.

Conservative councillor Paul Kelly – responsible for roads – said Petersfield Avenue and Mill Street in Slough Central Ward and Winvale, Vale Road and Windsor Road in Herschel Park Road would soon become CPZs.He also said the council was looking at ‘six zones covering Colnbrook’.

A Slough Borough Council spokesperson told the Observer that the legal process to implement the zones in Slough Central and Herschel Park wards was being finalised, but that there’s no specific date for when these will come in.

They added that consultations on proposed restrictions in two of the Colnbrook zones would be launched this autumn, the consultations on the other four to follow.

CPZs were rolled out in Baylis and Stoke ward in August. Some 550 people objected to the restrictions during a consultation and 1,420 people signed a petition against them.

But the council plans to gradually introduce parking restrictions across the borough. Council officers say that even areas without parking problems will need restrictions to stop ‘displacement parking’ from other areas where permits have been introduced.
